No, that is a statement of fact. If this is a good reason for choosing a certain tagging over another is a matter of opinion. > Opinion of OpenStreetMap community > is expressed by those who map - in the data. And it is clear from the data that both tagging schemes enjoy widespread support. The situation is actually much more balanced for reservoirs than for waterway=riverbank vs. water=river where pushing for the latter is much more questionable. In other words: You are kind of "barking up the wrong tree" here. There are many reasons why preset decisions of iD deserve a critical look. Choosing one of two widely accepted and widely used tagging schemes not exclusively based on absolute use numbers or structural conservativism (which was there first) is not one of them. -- Christoph Hormann http://www.imagico.de/ _______________________________________________ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
